The initial purpose of this blog is for me to journal my learning experience in becoming a Coach. That may expand and evolve as I, and time, unfold.
April 19: Okay, so it’s already evolving. Besides being a place to just journal my learning experiences, this blog is also about me being an expression of what I Know.

My hairdesser’s response yesterday to me learning to become a coach was, “You must be the Mother Theresa type–wanting to help people”. I told him that wasn’t true, that I wasn’t getting in to this to “help” anyone. I know that no one needs my “help”; nor am I capable of “helping” anyone.
I’m sure the question about “why do want to be a coach?” will be coming up shortly in the teleclasses. All I know at this point is that I know to do this.

:^D Ain’t it the truth. What incredible, incomprehensible things would we be doing if we only did what we know to?! I’m discovering that those things may not having anything what so ever to do with the significant people in your life. To do them with out justification (needing a reason, or proof). That, to me, is like becoming an adult child — innocently pursuing what may seem to be valueless, meaningless or unproductive while fending off the “attacks” of others. :^)
Thanks for letting me in on it, Dar. BIIIIIIG hugs!

That’s one of the many things about JdR that I’ve always been in awe of–that he will only do what he knows to do, even when those around him want to use what he’s doing to hurt themselves (play the victim) and then blame/attack him for their unwillingness to let go needing him to be a certain way around them. One of the most impactful things, for me, that I ever heard him ask anyone is, “Are you profoundly okay being alone in the midst of a crowd”?
For me, what also ties into this is the willingess to face that as we do what we know to do (and therefore, change), it will also mean that what we’ve been hanging on to (needing) in the other person will also be brought into our awareness to be addressed. Exquisitely painful and so liberating!
You’re most welcome to come ‘in’ any time, Chris.

Yes. How often are people talking about negative influences in life. Aren’t they blessings? They simply show me where I REALLY am. Exquisitely painful and so liberating! :^D
